Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an automatic tea plant dew removal machine that automatically removes rain and night dew attached to tea plants.

Traditionally, rain and night dew adhering to tea plants are removed using bamboo brooms, etc. However, although this method removes rain and dew drops, it removes the water film adhering to the surface. Since it cannot be removed, it is necessary to remove the dew using a blower type or centrifugal type dew cutter after collecting.However, since the work efficiency is extremely low, it is necessary to use a highly efficient power tea harvester. It is impossible to remove the dew,
Worker fatigue was also a significant drawback.

However, in the automatic tea tree dewetting machine according to the present invention, a blower rotated by a drive mechanism is attached to a support frame with the blower tube facing downward, and the blower tube is provided with left and right branch pipes adapted to the shape of the cut surface of the tea confectionery. These branch pipes are each provided with a large number of air outlets facing in the direction of travel, and there are handles on both sides of the support frame that allow adjustment of the angle of attachment to the support frame using adjustment fittings. The mechanism operates the blower to blow air from the outlet of the branch pipe, and if you hold the hand and move the support frame over the tea plant, the rain and dew drops that adhere to the entire surface of the tea plant will be removed from the outlet. The wind blowing from the tea leaves blows it away, and the water film that adheres to the tea leaves is also air-dried, leaving almost no dew on the tea leaves.Therefore, there is no need to remove the dew after harvesting, and the work efficiency is lower than that of a two-person tea harvester. The cutting efficiency exceeds the cutting efficiency of the machine, and the labor burden on the worker is light.
The forward force of air blowing prevents the dew that has been removed from getting back on the tea leaves or coming onto the operator, making it extremely effective as a machine that completely removes the dew from tea confections with great ease and efficiency. It is something that demonstrates the.

Next, an embodiment of the apparatus according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a blower, which is attached to a support frame 2 with its blower pipe 3 facing downward.

Reference numerals 4 and 4 denote left and right branch pipes connected to the blower pipe 3, which are curved to match the shape of the moon surface of the tea plant, and each has a number of air outlets 5.5 facing forward in the direction of the advancing force at the bottom thereof. be.

6 is a prime mover such as an engine that drives the blower 1;
It is directly connected to.

7, 7 are adjustment fittings 9 that pass through the pivots 8 on both sides of the support frame 2;
This is a U-shaped handle that is attached to the support frame 2 by attaching a cam 12 with a lever 11 to the other end of the pivot 8, which has a head 10 at one end. Adjust the mounting angle of 7 and tighten it after adjustment to fix it at a desired angle, and also configure the handles 7, 7 by fitting a thick base pipe a and a thin tip pipe b to adjust the fitting amount. After adjusting the length, the end of the base pipe a with a cut (not shown in the drawings) is tightened with a nut 14 to fix it at a predetermined length.

Since one embodiment of the automatic dew removal machine for tea plants according to the present invention is constructed as described above, the mounting angles of the handles 7, 7 with respect to the support frame 2 can be adjusted so that the handles 7, 7 can be held in a comfortable posture. In this state,
After setting the wind outlets 5, 5 so as to correspond slightly above the tea plant, the blower 1 is driven by the drive mechanism 6, and the above-mentioned hands 7, 7 are held by two workers, and the support frame 2 is moved. If you move along the tea plant in the direction of the air outlets 5, 5, the air will blow out from the air outlets 5, 5 which are adapted to the shape of the cut surface of the tea plant, and remove the rain and night dew that are attached to the entire surface of the tea confectionery. In addition to blowing away the droplets, it also air-dries the water film adhering to the tea confectionery, leaving almost no dew on the tea leaves.However, its efficiency is comparable to that of a two-person power tea mowing machine. Since the tea cutting capacity is higher than that of the conventional tea plant, there is no reduction in tea cutting efficiency in the slightest, and the labor burden is light as the worker simply carries the weight of the blower while walking, making it easy to remove dew in vast tea gardens. It is also something you can do easily without getting tired.

In particular, this device directs the wind outlet toward the forward force in the traveling direction,
Since the dew is dispersed to the front, the dew does not re-adhere to the tea cake once removed, nor does the dew fall onto the workers.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

The drawing shows one embodiment of the device according to the present invention.
The figure is a front view. FIG. 2 is a side view, partially in cross section. In the figure, 1 is the blower, 2 is the support frame, 3 is the blower pipe, 4, 4 is the branch pipe, 5, 5 is the air outlet, 6 is the drive mechanism, 7, 7 is the handle, and 9, 9 is the adjustment metal fitting. be.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. Attach the blower rotated by the drive mechanism to the support frame with the blower pipe facing downward, connect the left and right branch pipes that conform to the shape of the cut surface of the tea leaves to the blower pipe, and proceed to the branch pipes respectively. An automatic dew removal machine for tea plants, characterized in that a large number of air outlets facing the direction of force are provided, and handles are provided on both sides of the support frame to adjust the angle of attachment to the support frame using adjustment fittings.
